Help your child anticipate & prepare for anxiety triggering events using Picturepath’s visual timelines.

The Visual Timeline is a tool recommended by pediatricians to help SEN children reduce anxiety by visualising the events of their day. This means fewer episodes of emotional distress and a safer, calmer, happier child.

Helps uncover a child’s hidden triggers

Each SEN child responds differently to their surroundings. What triggers one child may not affect another. Picturepath can help uncover what events trigger your child – by allowing you to see patterns in moods and events recorded over time. This data can then be used to determine when intervention may be required for your child.

Visual timelines, guides and features in app

Easily manage changes to routine and transitions without causing distress

SEN children often find comfort in routine. This makes them particularly prone to becoming emotionally distressed when experiencing new places, new activities, or changes to their routine. Picturepath can be used to help SEN children visualise and mentally prepare for such events – helping avoid an adverse emotional response. For example, Picturepath can help your child with transitions such as:

Returning back to school after holidays.
Transitioning between home and school.
Adjusting to a new city, new friends or new school.

Help Avoid Meltdowns in Public

Meltdowns are emotional outbursts resulting from sensory overstimulation. It can be a challenging experience for SEN children and parents to deal with in public places. A child is more likely to avoid experiencing a meltdown if they clearly understand what to expect in their environment. That’s why Picturepath allows parents to create online visual timelines to help children anticipate the day’s events when visiting new and unfamiliar places.
